The AGFA 400PS is NOT the Compugraphic 9600.  The 9600 has been out for
some time now; however, it hasn't been generally available due to bugs
in the system.  The 9600 is a high-end laser typesetter much like the
Allied-Merg Linotronic 100/300.  Compugraphic originally endorsed
Interpress (everyone makes mistakes); however, I have a feeling they
didn't receive much support from Xerox.  CG's recent release of both a
300 DPI laser printer and the AGFA 406 DPI printer signifies a move
towards PostScript that up to now they've been trying to avoid.  I have
heard nothing about the 9600 supporting PostScript; however, I think
they will announce this pretty soon, if they haven't already (I'm about
three weeks backed up on my trade journals).
